Submission
 
Procedures for Abstracts/Proposals Submission
Deadline for submission - December 24, 2007
The submission of abstracts and full papers involves several steps. First, submit an abstract of the paper or submit "in progress" theoretical or empirical papers and case studies, or submit a proposal describing your presentation. Extended abstracts (2 to 3 pages) describing your paper are acceptable in lieu of a full paper. Submit proposal for a symposium on one page describing the subject, scope and potential participants. You may send your submission file together with the Submission Form or you may send your submission as an email attatchment to submit@apamb.org. The Submission Form is used electronically to generate the Conference Program and Proceedings. The information that is provided with the Form must be identical to the information on the abstract/paper.

When the paper/abstract is received, it will be peer–reviewed by the Program Committee. You will receive notification by email within 30 days whether your paper was accepted, rejected, or accepted with reservation. Authors of accepted papers/abstracts will then receive a letter of acceptance and further instructions. In the case of multiple authors, only the submitter will be notified. He or she is responsible for notifying co-authors.

Once your submission has been accepted for presentation, you must register for the conference in order to present. Your allocated time for presentation and the program schedule will be emailed to you prior to the start of the conference. In order for your paper to be included in the Conference Proceedings, you must submit a Final Manuscript before February 25, 2008.

Your submission of abstracts and proposals (i.e., text, tables, figures, and graphics) should be contained in a single file (MS Word), and sent to the Program Committee at submit@apamb.org as an email attachment or it can be sent through our web site.

The Program Committee will accept extended abstracts and full papers no later than December 24, 2007 to ensure inclusion in the conference program and proceedings.
